Any update on this issue?

Commons-lang3 is currently at version 3.7 but tomee still have reference to 3.5.

Is there any configuration file we can manage to force the load of the updated library for tomee?

Oggetto: How to load commons-lang3-3.6.jar from web-inf/lib of a war file

I created a hello-world.war from the struts-examples-master.zip from https://github.com/apache/struts-examples.

Clicking the 'Hello World' link got the url:
http://localhost:8080/hello-world/hello.action;jsessionid=8EEA47306A76BAE87F665C6090D518E3

which display:
HTTP Status 500 - Filter execution threw an exception

type Exception report

message Filter execution threw an exception

description The server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

javax.servlet.ServletException: Filter execution threw an exception root cause

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.apache.commons.lang3.reflect.MethodUtils.getAnnotation(Ljava/lang/reflect/Method;Ljava/lang/Class;ZZ)Ljava/lang/annotation/Annotation;
org.apache.struts2.interceptor.validation.AnnotationValidationInterceptor.doIntercept(AnnotationValidationInterceptor.java:47)
...
org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter.doFilter(StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter.java:143)
note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat (TomEE)/8.5.11 (7.0.3) logs.

Apache Tomcat (TomEE)/8.5.11 (7.0.3)

Therefore the war file has a dependency to struts 2.5.12 which has (not
optional) dependency to commons lang3 3.6.
The war file directory structure is:
hello-world/WEB-INF/lib/commons-lang3-3.6.jar

I add following line to catalina.sh:
set "JAVA_OPTS=-XX:+TraceClassLoading -XX:+TraceClassUnloading"

then do:
catalina.sh run > my_tomcat.log 2>&1

then finally search my_tomcat.log for MethodUtils

my_tomcat.log has this line:
[Loaded org.apache.commons.lang3.reflect.MethodUtils from file:/home/alkao/tomee/apache-tomee-plus-7.0.3/lib/commons-lang3-3.5.jar]

i.e. tomee 7.0.3 loads commons-lang3-3.5.jar.

How to load commons-lang3-3.6.jar from web-inf/lib of a war file using tomee 7.0.3?
